A recent study by researchers at UH Mānoa and Oregon State University provides strong evidence that mitochondria, an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells, share a common evolutionary ancestor with a lineage of marine bacteria known as SAR11

In a joint research effort between Mānoa’s Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology, University of Tokyo, the Japanese National Institute of Polar Research and the University of Florida, scientists have shed new light on the hunting behavior of tiger sharks

Researchers at the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology have made a remarkable new discovery. In 2009, 83 rare corals were petitioned to be listed under the United States Endangered Species Act. If the listing is granted, it will afford higher protection and designate critical habitat for these corals but are all the species on this list really species?

Scientists Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology and the Smithsonian Institution have created the first frozen bank for Hawaiian corals in an attempt to protect them from extinction and to preserve their diversity in Hawaiʻi.
